Summer. Stripes.

“Inaaya hadn’t slept well for the last few weeks. The setting of the sun haunted her every night. It reminded her of dark, cold empty chambers of her heart she didn’t want to visit. She struggled to sleep. The darkness around her was too overbearing. All she could think of was the loneliness that surrounded her. She wasn’t used to sleeping alone. The night whispered into her ears and her deepest fears started to creep in. There was anxiety. And then there was fear. She tossed and turned all night long and walked the empty corridors of nowhere in her dreams only to realise that light was not at the end of the tunnel: the light was within her. She was always alone. Everyone is. But she had herself atleast. And this was enough to ignite a spark and guide her back home. At least for the time being. In her heart she knew, this was the beginning of the end. Inaaya had never felt this way before. But she kept going in hope of making it work. She did not understand a simple fact that sometimes things aren’t meant to fall in place. Sometimes they are just supposed to not work out. And that is the beauty in them… she was to discover that soon though. The emptiness in her heart was a cavity not willing to fill itself. She struggled to keep the pieces intact. She struggled to smile and yet she did. She still looked up at life and smiled in the face. She was desperate, anxious, depressed even, but she wasn’t a quitter. But she knew deep down that the smile was a mask only for the world. Beneath it all, she crumbled. Silently. (: Everyday. Did it matter, though? Not really, she sighed. I’d brought this upon myself. I deserve eternal damnation for what I have done. For what I have lost, she whispered.

If my stories are depressing you, let me know and I promise to stop. It is just easier this way. Coming here and writing my deepest thoughts and fantasies. 🙂

Anyhoo, hoe are you guys doing? How is summer coming along? It is freaking 42 degree Celsius in Ahmedabad and I am boiling every minute. The heat is just too over bearing! But that is all the more reasons to post good summer looks, no? This one here is inspired by the striped trend which is not going out of fashion anytime soon. The skirt is actually something I stitched myself. I am very proud of it! 🙂
